Lesson32 Shopping made easy 购物变得很方便
People are not so honest as they once were.The temptation to steal is greater than ever before--especially in large shops.A detective recently watched a well-dressed woman who always went into a large store on Monday mornings.One Monday,there were fewer people in the shop than usual when the woman came in,so it was easier for the detective to watch her.The woman first bought a few small articles.After a little time,she chose one of the most expensive dresses in the shop and handed it to an assistant who wrapped it up for her as quickly as possible.Then the woman simply took the parcel and walked out of the shop without paying.When she was arrested,the detective found out that the shop-assistant was her daughter.The girl' gave' her mother a free dress once a week !
lesson33 Out of the darkness 冲出黑暗
Nearly a week passed before the girl was able to explain what had happened to her.One afternoon she set out from the coast in a small boat and was caught in a storm.Towards evening,the boat struck a rock and the girl jumped into the sea.Then she swam to the shore after spending the whole night in the water.During that time she covered a distance of eight miles.Early next morning,she saw a light ahead.She knew she was near the shore because the light was high up on the cliffs.On arriving at the shore,the girl struggled up the cliff towards the light she had seen.That was all she remembered.When she woke up a day later,she found herself in hospital.
